Script to get os architecture and install program

[Lordmathos]

Hi all, im new to vbs and after quite a long time of searching am struggling to find a script to do what i need.

I am trying to write a script that will get an os architecture (x86/x64) and if the os is x86 then run the x86 msi and if it is x64 then run the x64 msi.

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

use WMI

set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
set colProcessors = objWMI.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Processor")
	
for each objProcessor in colProcessors
	strSystemArchitecture = objProcessor.AddressWidth
next

if (strSystemArchitecture = "32") then
	'do 32-bit
elseif (strSystemArchitecture ="64") then
	'do 64-bit
end if

Thanks for that.

unfortunately it is to run on a Windows Server 2000 domain adn I dont think WMI works on that. :S
